S2E66 – Black Flag "My War" – with Camila Risso Jun 27, 2019

Show notes

Camila Risso returns, bringing 1984's controversial, love it or hate it "My War," the first in a string of dark, bleak, challenging albums by LA's seminal hardcore ensemble Black Flag. Side One gives the kids in the mosh pit a little something to write home about, but side two slips into a musical La Brea Tar Pit of heavy dirges topped with Henry Rollins' verbal self-immolations. It's great. Please support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH? Please visit our sponsor, Is This Tomorrow: http://isthistomorrow.com

S2E65 – The Velvet Underground "Loaded" – with Gary Waleik of Big Dipper Jun 20, 2019

Show notes

In another of our...um..."collusions" with ex-members of Boston's beloved and defunct Big Dipper, axe-man Gary Waleik walks up the subway stairs with the fourth and final Velvet Underground album, "Loaded." "Sweet Jane" and "Rock and Roll" were FM rock staples in the late 70s, and this album was the closest the band got to mainstream...anything.

S2E64 – Shellac – "At Action Park" with Jay Reeve Jun 13, 2019

Show notes

An eyeball-gouging, face-raking, windshield bouncing classic from 1994, the debut from the (still doing it) trio of miscreants Shellac. 10 songs of love, loss, and getting your scrotum snagged in a carnival ride by Steve Albini, Bob Weston and Todd Trainer. Brought to us by the self-proclaimed "King of Used Office Furniture (in Deerfield Beach)" Jay Reeve, who drank the drinks and slung the hash with us. Please support our Patreon.

Miami music producer, member of To Live and Shave in LA, and founder of the International Noise Conference Rat Bastard brings his knowledge of producer Joe Boyd and love of Nick Drake's melancholy genius to our 63rd episode of that Record Got Me High.

S2E62 – X-Ray Spex – "Germ-Free Adolescents" – w/Mitzie Velez May 30, 2019

Show notes

Witty, astute and lovely ska saxophonist Mitzie Velez brings her love of X-Ray Spex and the late. singular, undeniable, brilliantly day-glo Poly Styrene to our monthly live taping at Laser Wolf. The record was unavailable in the US until 1992, and many may have missed its extraordinary charms. They are many, and varied. Support our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH?

S2E61 – Voivod – "VOIVOD" May 23, 2019

Show notes

Voivod's 2003 self-titled album is their first to feature newly self-amputated-from-Metallica Jason Newsted ("Jasonic"), and also the return of original vocalist Denis Bélanger ("Snake"). It's guitarist Denis D'Amour's ("Piggy") swan song (RIP 2005). Drummer and visionary Michel Langevin ("Away") propels the album in spectacular fashion. Sci-fi, thrash metal, alt-rock, unclassifiable (and spectacularly unavailable), it's fantastic from start to finish. YouTube, of course, will provide...

S2E60 – Captain Beefheart – "Lick My Decals Off Baby" w/Mike Coleman May 15, 2019

Show notes

1971 comes into razor sharp focus with Captain Beefheart's follow up to his magnum opus "Trout mask Replica." The songs are intensely strange, but focus on both human ecological concerns and Don's love of "yams" that "yawn and yearn." It is a crazy, crazy ride, an album that's just as wild as the day it hatched, and one that will have you laughing and scratching your chin simultaneously. Thanks very much to Tallahassee's own highly-gifted musical stepchild Mike Coleman for bringing this slab of genius to our show. Please support our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/join/TRGMH?

S259 – The Monochrome Set – "Volume, Contrast, Brilliance" w/Steve Michener May 09, 2019

Show notes

Our friend Steve Michener makes his third appearance on That Record Got Me High to wax eloquent about The Monochrome Set, a group that is as English as The Kinks, and with the same difficulties in crossing the pond culturally. Steve recently shepherded the quirky ensemble on the West Coast leg of a US tour, and his love of the band is now shared by your less-hip cohosts.

S2E58 – Rocket from the Tombs – with CHEETAH CHROME! May 02, 2019

Show notes

That Record Got Me High is very pleased to have as our guest the fantastic and highly entertaining original member of Cleveland, Ohio's seminal Rocket from the Tombs – AND – NY punk rock icons Dead Boys – CHEETAH CHROME. He brings the goods with clarity about who, what, when and where, and hips us to a lyric we've puzzled over for decades. This was a great time for both of us, and we think you'll feel the same way.

S257 – Iron Maiden – "The Number Of The Beast" w/Tony Landa Apr 25, 2019

Show notes

Tony Landa, from Hialeah's own legendary Humbert, brings us a stone-cold metal classic from 1982. Bruce Dickinson's debut as Iron Maiden's vocalist made them internationally famous, and the album is full of great playing and composing. We only really take issue with one of the lyrics, which we suspect maybe the band would rather forget as well. All of this taking place at our favorite watering hole, Fort Lauderdale's Laserwolf.
